That way we leave plenty of time and can stop off for a bite to eat on the way.

Who wants to do what with cars? Each take our own and get a photo of our babies in front of the Prodrive sign or "car share"
Is this time & meeting point offical

No Baz

The general consencus is that we are all going to drive up seperately and have a photo opportunity in front of the sign. Can you bring the camera and tripod

Meeting at 12-45pm'ish leaving at 1pm sharp.

We are heading north around the M25 on the way up (that way we get in an extra couple of tunnels ) and on the way back we will head South on the M25. That way we drop Baz off in Kent and we all get to go through the Dartford Tunnels

It's absolutely bloody miles so make sure you have a full tank before we leave. I think there is a tesco petrol station at lakeside so you can fill up with 99 ron

PINK SHIRT EVENT

Remember to get the 2 way radios on charge, together with the camera batteries........

With the best will in the world I think on the way back I'll be taking the (M25)North route back, as it'll save me about an hour and 60 odd miles

Still looking forward to this

Loving this plan.

Can I make one small request?....

Could we use the Left tunnel at Dartford please, as I need to leave the M25 at Thurrock. On a previous occasion I nearly caused a pile up by having to make a hasty carve across 3 lanes from the other tunnel.

Mate, don't worry about a pink shirt, I haven't got one either. Although I'll probably wear my ESC Germany WRC 2006 shirt

I don't think you mean J25 as thats the A10, the Waltham Abbey turn off is J26. I'll meet you there. I'll be in the PROPER BLUE coloured Scoob with an 'ED' number plate.

If you are desperate for V Power after you get to Prodrive then you can get a slurp here in Bicester :-





Coming off the M40 J11 for Prodrive :-



And when you leave to get back onto the M40 :-

Right, just spoken to Prodrive about the use of camera's.

It is ok for us to turn up and start posing in front of the sign for photos. It is also fine for us to take camera's within the facility. Some areas are restricted and no photos are allowed within these areas but they will make them clear to us.

Apparently we all have to park in the same direction!

Looking forward to this sooo much now
